Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

New UUID Formats from IETF
As the author of a popular ULID implementation in python[1], the spec has no stewardship anymore. The specification repo[2] has plenty of open issues and no real guidance or communication beyond language implementation authors discussing corner cases. The monotonic functionality is ambiguous (at best) and is implemented differently per-languages [3].
Functionality, UUIDv7 might be the _same_ but the hope would be for a more rigid specification for interoperability.

Sortable Collision-Free UUIDs
Looks similar to ULID[0] (I am the author of a popular python implementation[1]).
It appears to have a similar constraint that two ID's generated within the same timestamp (ms, ns) have no strong guarantee of ordering. That might not be a deal breaker depending on your use case but something to consider.
